Drouth In Autumn

Title:     Drouth In Autumn
Author: Madison Julius Cawein [More Titles by Cawein]

Gnarled acorn-oaks against a west
Of copper, cavernous with fire;
A wind of frost that gives no rest
To such lean leaves as haunt the brier,
And hide the cricket's vibrant wire.

Sear, shivering shocks, and stubble blurred
With bramble-blots of dull maroon;
And creekless hills whereon no herd
Finds pasture, and whereo'er the loon
Flies, haggard as the rainless moon.

[The end]
Madison Julius Cawein's poem: Drouth In Autumn
